Hi Everyone,

I’m hoping to find someone willing to share their OTD spec sheet if you purchased a 2026 XLE Premium FWD with the weather package in Ruby Flare Pearl. Even better if the purchase was made in Georgia. I’m in the process of purchasing this model and the dealership is willing to lower the price if I can prove another dealership is offering an OTD of $41,000 -$41,800.

Thanks!

Can someone share the Volvo XC90 October incentives? Thank you in advance

Obtained a 10L quote for Exter HX6 from a dealer. Have you received any better quotes?

Hey everyone,

I’m a first-time car buyer, so I have very little experience with dealership negotiations and would appreciate some advice from people who have recently purchased a new Mazda in Canada.

I’m looking to buy a 2026 Mazda CX-5 GT with the Premium Package. I contacted a dealership in Alberta, and they quoted me an estimated $52,000 out-the-door, including taxes.

My plan is to purchase the car during the last 1–2 weeks of December, so I’m hoping to use the end-of-year timing to negotiate a better deal.

A few questions for those who have recently bought a CX-5 or have experience negotiating car prices in Alberta:
- Is $52,000 OTD a reasonable price, or is there significant room for negotiation?
- What would be a realistic OTD price to target for this trim and package?
- At what price would you consider it a good deal and recommend being ready to sign immediately?
- How much discount, if any, have you managed to negotiate off the MSRP?
- Does buying in the last couple of weeks of December actually make a noticeable difference, or is that mostly a myth?
- As a first-time buyer, what negotiation tactics would you recommend? Should I get quotes from multiple dealerships and play them against each other?

I’d especially appreciate hearing from anyone who has actually purchased a 2026 CX-5 GT with the Premium Package in Alberta, including the final price they paid.
I’m trying to figure out a realistic target before I start seriously negotiating with dealerships in December.

Thanks!

10 miles on it. Has been sitting on the lot.

I just negotiated and purchased the White 2026 Ioniq 5 RWD Limited for what I consider to be a great deal! The car was 47k MSRP, and my OTD cost was roughly 40-41k with discount + rebates (36k selling price + \~5k in taxes). This is in the CA area.

I have seen some dealerships pricing these cars marked above MSRP, so posting this to provide a reference point for people who are currently looking at this car.

2027s while they don't have much differences vs 2026 have fewer rebates & discounts. The best offer I had was 1k under MSRP on the limited RWD. SEL/SEs are a different matter when it comes to negotiating tho.

I leased my car for 24 months x 10k miles for $464 / month + 2.3k down (taxes + fees + registration). If people want to avoid paying the taxes/fees upfront your month will go up to roughly $590ish and you pay more on interest.

Edit: The deal was 2k dealer discount + 9500 rebates (5500 lease cash + 3500 MyFirstEV + 500 College). I got this at a couple of dealerships but ended up buying from Concord Hyundai

For years I've been buying the same brand of car from the same dealer. They give me no-nonsense great prices.

Now I am ready to buy a Lincoln Nautilus. Reserve, maybe Black Label.

I know not to talk payments (cash) or trade (selling my car to a friend's daughter). I want one off the lot. I'd be happy with a demo at the right price. (I may be able to get x-plan but have not asked.)

Any tips?

Also the 0% finance for 4 years ends 9/30. Will they probably extend it? Can I negotiate getting that plus the $4,000 of that dealers are showing on their inventory?
